Explaining SeXyers.

Those who heard Colonel Waring last
night in the City Council explain his
system OF 30 ~ersse, may not be any
more in favor OF that system now than
they we're before, but at any rate they
have heard the system explained and
are prepared to act more intelligently
upon the subject. OF the theory and
successful working of the system there
can be no dispute. Colonel Warning Is
q distinguished engineer and has given
the subject OF sewerage OF cities his
special attention. His plan is practical
and fessi5 Bile, easily understood, and
where 1t has been introduced has been
a success. With this then understood,
how about the introduction of 1t into
Wilmington? Here many objections
meet II, but the great objection Is the
cost 1t will entail upon properly holders.
But will It? Need 1t he very costly
affair to our citizens? In conversation
with . gentlema On last night, "a resident

given this subject more attention per-

The Board Of Trade last night adopt
ed an earnest memorial to the LsgisiA-
ture fAvorisg the repeal, or ct lesst
general modification OF Law imposing
0ne-tenth Of one per cent. State tax
that has been bearing hard upon the
manufacturing interests Of the city ever
since 1t was levied ~ . war tax. The
plea for its repeal 10 certainly . reason
able one. and should receive the favor
able consideration Of the Legislature.
As WAS shown last night and In the
memorial 70 the Legislature. much OF
the material used In manufacturing 10
taxed as high - three times. The raw
piR-iron used for making iron IL taxed,
the iron sold TO another party 10 taxed
again, and the articles manufactured
from this sheet or bar Iron L. taxed .
third time.
This 10 certainly . little too much
taxation for the good Of the business
community. The tax 10 the more OBJ
jectiouable that 1t IL not needed, as the
balance sheet OF the States accounts
shows over three hundred thousand
dollars excess Of assets and liabilities.
The repeal Of this tax IL the more urgent
that 1t initiates against the Danufac-
turing prosperity OF our city. Mr..
George W. Bush instanoed case where
. manufacturing Arm employing fifteen
hundred hands having made up Its
mind to locate in Wilmington, went to
Chester when IL found how oppressive
this special man ufscturers' tax would
be. The manufacturers and merchants
of our city do not object to paying their
equitable share of taxes, but as the
State now does not need these special
taxes they certainly should be relieved
In . large measure from tax which
was levied with much reluctance when
the State was deeply In debt.
Another onerous tax 10 that wherein

PEELED to pay license tax OF $25. undei

chant In our city can send an agen
down the State to solicit orders withou

cost Of S25. The same tax applies &
commercial agents from other States
which Is right and proper, but the sam
principle certainly should not apply t
merchants in our own State who pay
regular State license. These are tw
onerous taxes that the Legislator
would do we'll to repeal.

NsO York World, he never had more
sincere devotion and homage shown him
than by the sisters Anna and Helene

to earn livelihood by giving piano in
structon, they learned gratitude and
affection for the great man who guided
them by his counsel and assisted them
to an honorable place in his chosen pro-
fession. From this time on their lives
were dedicated to him. AT the annual
concert by their pupils his compositions
constituted the greater part of the pro-
gramme and his presence inspired both
teacher and pupils to work with re-
doubled energy for the ensuing year.
